In the grand accounting of the planet, every step you take toward a greener lifestyle makes a difference. Toss your banana peel in a compost pile instead of into a plastic trash bag, and you get to pat yourself on the back. Of course you’re not going to save the planet by taking your own reusable tote bag to the grocery store, but you’re reducing your consumption of fossil fuels and contribution to landfills. Not bad, eh? You won’t solve watershortage issues by using native plants in your landscape, but you save gallons and gallons of the precious stuff.

Those examples are just a few of the zillions of tips you find in this guide. Flip through these pages, find the suggestions that sound do-able to you, and consider yourself a valued contributor to the growing green movement.
